DVD
Atonement starring Keira Knightley. Girl sees sister and guy kissing and "her jealousy drives her to tell a lie that will irrevocably change the course of all their lives forever." I haven't seen it or read the book.
August Rush starring Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell. Stupid concept with young lovers, an evil father, a child secretly sent to an orphanage, child playing guitar to find unknown parents.
Sweeney Todd starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen. I should do a comparison between American and British actors and see which side has the most actors using three names. Guy is released from prison and cuts lots of throats. I've read that there is a lot of splurting blood.
Kite Runner starring [a bunch of Afghanis you never heard of]. I've never read the book. The friendship of two boys is split and years later one tries for redemption. Or something. I always thought this was about kite fighting.
Juno starring Ellen Page, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman. Wiseacre teen girl gets pregnant and picks out adopting couple. Scripted by Diablo Cody whose autobiography about being a stripper, Candy Girl, we have. Garner and Bateman were both in The Kingdom which I watched yesterday evening. That picture was a disappointment.
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei. That's a point for the U.S. Two brothers plot to rob their parents' jewelry store and things go badly. Tomei has a nude scene with Hoffman.
